Of course I forgive you, it didn't even hurt. CIV was all happy memories for me.

I had never had the honor of meeting him and this was my first time getting his autograph so it was really cool to get such a nice response. He signed both of my Official Pix, adding an inscription on both. One he personalized with "May the Empire rise again!"
Awesome response from a great guy!
I mailed it on 3/13 - used the Karl Marx address.

He sure is. I first wrote to Lightning Bear in May of 2005. I was graduating from college that month and I sent a request to the Director's Guild in Great Britain (no longer valid). I sent my graduation announcement and wrote him a long letter telling him how much I enjoyed "Star Wars".
(I was five when the first film came out in 1977 and I am proud to be able to tell people that I was among the first generation to enjoy this wonderful Sci-Fi series.)
I enclosed a large self-addressed stamped envelope and a 3x5 card. I received a beautiful 8x10 color photo of Lightning Bear as a Stormtrooper signed and inscribed to me. He also signed my index card, returned my graduation announcement signed and dedicated to me, and a typed note personally signed to me.
Three years later, I still get excited when I receive an autograph from him. Since then, he's signed photos from his other film work as well as signing my DVDs from various films he's worked on.
I've bene collecting autographs for close to eight years and he is without a doubt one of the most generous and courteous signers ever! I'm glad to hear that he has pleased his other fans all over the world just as he has me.
Thank you so much for reading. Have a great week!
